Write a reflection about the classes you oriented this week (bear in mind the following aspects: what you planned, what you did, and what you would do differently if you were to teach your lessons again). Give examples and descriptions of those situations that, in your view, are relevant to your learning experience.
The last week students come back from the holidays, I thought that students could arrive so noisy, misbehaved and full of energy. I had listened to some comments from my classmates and all of them mentioned that aspect, they said that their students were misbehaved owing to that, I was preparing myself psychologically to face a similar situation
I began classes on Wednesday, with first grade everything was perfect, the students were so well behaved, they participated and performed all the activities as I had prepared. Then, I had classes with second grade, also they were well behaved but in some moments they were so noisy but it was not a huge situation as my classmates' cases with their students. In absolute terms, my students were quiet and well behaved, I liked a lot the classes from the last week.
I had classes with kindergarten on Thursday and Friday, they were not as well behaved like the previous grades, they were a little bit noisy. They liked the new song I brought to them to learn. There was a new student, her name is Valery but she preferred to be called “Alanna Princess”.
The environment changed a lot in school because the school principal made some changes in it. Now, I am more motivated to go and work there. I loved the way in which some students greeted me on Wednesday, they were so happy to see me, some girls called me “mom” in an exciting way and I love it. It is very rewarding to see their love for me. I think that it is the most rewarding moment of teaching.

Well, to extent, it is hard to foresee students' behaviour but according to your experience students waste their energy in vacations. I would have liked to know what kind of changes the head-teacher did in the school to change the atmosphere and also to motivate you to keep on going there. Also, I admire you your love for kids.
